The Ground Zero Mosque’s Imam: Now On Tour
What’s more, in 2006, Imam Rauf was recorded opining that the U.S. should engage Hamas and support an “Islamic state” since it is supporting the Jewish state of Israel. He repeatedly checked to make sure he was not on the air and that the other person understood his comments were off the record. He said that he did not support a “demographic Islamic state,” meaning a nation consisting of Muslims. Rather, he supports an “Islamic state” where everyone lives together. That sounds an awful lot like Muslims and non-Muslims living under Sharia law.
Taken together, these activities cast serious doubt on Park51’s claim that it simply seeks to improve interfaith relations. If that had been its goal, Park51 would have realized by now that it is undermining its own cause — and backtrack accordingly. After all, this controversy is so damaging to Islam that the top scholars at al-Azhar University in Cairo suspect Park51 is part of a Zionist conspiracy.
Clearheaded opposition continues to build in the U.S. and around the world. Muslims opposing Park51 include Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser of the American-Islamic Forum for Democracy, Raheel Raza and Tarek Fatah of the Muslim Canadian Congress, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, Stephen Schwartz of the Center for Islamic Pluralism, the first Muslim Miss USA, Mansoor Ijaz, the director of Al-Arabia TV, Hasan Mahmud and Neda Bolourchi. According to Gallup, 14 percent of Muslims want the site moved, 30 percent want it changed into an interfaith center owned by several religious groups, and 43 percent support it as is.
Imam Rauf has made a mistake by bringing attention to himself again. As I told the New York Times, this will “revive the opposition” and give Park51’s opponents more opportunities to raise these facts and questions. This battle isn’t over just yet.
I’m so happy the Muslims are unable to hide their true goals. After 1400 years of practice, taqiyya is still hard for even the most educated Muslims.

As Rauf has defied the will of the American people and most 9/11 families over the GZ mosque project no PR campaign can repair the damage he has done to his deceptive image as an interfaith healer and Moslem progressive. He cannot have his cake and eat it too. It was either/or from the start. Rauf has sacrified that image on the alter of triumphalist Islam. Sacrified it for the glory that his project will possibly bring him in the American-hating Islamic world.
ONE QUESTION: WHO’S PAYING FOR THIS?
Notice he is making only a single excursion to the South…likely a well orchestrated event in San Antonio. I guess, Sami’s network in the Tampa area must have fled with him. He is not going to get any sympathy in the increasingly Red States and has to stick with the liberals. A preemptive strike by opening a pork Barbecue and bar next door would be instructive as we will hear the “sensitivity” argument which only ever goes one way with these primitives.
The problem is the suicidal nihilism in our own culture that allows this evil to gain a foothold in the first place.
In a healthy culture and society (like the America of not too long ago), miscreants like Feisal Abdul Rauf wouldn’t even get through the door.
“His allies will frame each event as an example of how the tolerant and open Rauf is being persecuted by intolerant Islamophobes. This will not be a political debate but a civil rights struggle, with the Park51 opponents on the wrong side.”
What sickens me about this debate is how Rauf and people of his ilk try to show how “tolerant” Muslims are HERE in America. Big deal. How about showing how “tolerant” Muslims are in, say, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Libya, Iran, Iraq, or my personal favorite, Afghanistan? How about our buddy Rauf making a public speach in any of those countries supporting and applauding the religious and political tolerance in the United States? It’s very “brave” being a “victim” here in America, but I don’t see guys like Rauf pushing democracy or religious freedom in any conservative Muslim nation. Rauf is a liar and a fraud. He should be shunned here in America and the fact the our own State Department gave one dime for this nut’s tour of the Middle East is an embarrassment to this nation. Only when people like Rauf DENOUNCE Sharia law and actually make speaches in the Middle East, on video, supporting the United States and the western way of life, will he have any credibility at all. Until then, he should be ignored, especially by the State Department.
Yet another battle in a very old war. The cross of St George or the Crescent Moon one must fall.
“The only problem with Islamic fundamentalism are the fundamentals
of Islam.”

Look, Feisel, take this mosque of yours and stick it in your cake hole. We will always remember.
The Ground Zero mosque project is all about Imam Rauf’s legacy. He wants to be remembered as the great Imam who built Mecca west on the site of a Muslim victory in one of the infidels most cherished cities. If he is ever successful he is guaranteed to become a Muslim legend.

not legacy – leprosy
Mike Bloomberg will handle the crowd warm ups and introduction, after a few swipes at Tea Partiers, Christians and Normal People in general. After passing the hat around the audience he will sing duets and tap dance with his dear friend, to the tune of “Me and My Shadow”, altered to Me and Feisal.
They will reminisce about the secret cooperation between City Hall and good old Feisal prior to going public, but under no circumstances will the mayor take any questions about his abysmal, disgraceful, mind blowingly incompetent mismangement of the blizzard in the city he’s supposed to run.
Decidedly more difficult then buying the votes of the municipal unions and pushing NYC towards bankruptcy.

Is there a way in Judiasm to “excommunicate” a traitorous dog like bloomberg? Any Jewish people who do not condemn this jerk should be ashamed.
I pray this administration gets paralyze some with the new incumbents. With Obama and Holder codependents to the “whole world” and ignorant of
pure evil we have a very slim chance…the only other hope is that Christ or a supreme power will (such as nature) will shake it all up. Obama must be more than hit as in this last election. He is a Hydra..he’s got so many personalities to show up and keep spinning all the dummies I just don’t know.
Immigration must be reined in. Surely the people can see what has happened to Europe if they can read or desire to . Education is ultimately one answer but it also involves mental illness as DR. Charles Konia discusses in his new book THE EMOTIONAL PLAGUE.
and furthermore…Mike Bloomberg needs his teeth kicked in ..or his tongue..he is such an Innovator…stop people from eating salt and what other society enhancing moves has he made ..but he could not ‘SPREAD SALT’ FOR THE CITIES SECURITY. He is a stupid man with a stupid agenda.
Was the reason Mayor Bloomberg did such a lousy job dealing with New York’s huge snowstorm, was because he was too busy with his TOP priority: doing everything Bloomberg can to make sure Islam is honored with a trophy mosque at sacred Ground Zero where our cherished 3,000 were slaughtered without mercy by the followers of Islam?
Rauf might go down in history as the modern world’s greatest conman. Rauf uses Islam for Rauf’s own purposes. His statements about Islam and his mosque project give him a kind of nervous edge that makes him ever so exciting to the MSM. The bottom line is that once again the MSM and a conman work seamlessly together in creating lots of smoke and noise but no heat or light. With people like Rauf and people like the Saudis, at this time in history Islam is presented to the West by the very people who will do it the most damage.
If G-d forbid, the victory mosque is actually built, nothing in this world could ever take away the intense mental and emotional agony of the terrible betrayal of our 3,000 fellow Americans. We will NEVER forget their terror, physical suffering, horror and grief and their realization that their loved ones would never again see them on this earth. How can we betray them with a 9/11 terrorist victory mosque at Ground Zero? We must fight against this wicked betrayal til our last breath.
America: Please buy and read this book. What is happening in America is behind the scenes that the MSM is not reporting and it isn’t pretty.

While Ground Zero remained a hole in the ground for years, Mayor Mosque contributed absolutely nothing to the rebuilding effort, and allowed it to be hijacked by Pataki. When asked about the rebuilding process, his non-answer was: “NYC needs more affordable housing.” But now, he has finally taken a position on what must be built there. Forget affordable housing, NYC needs a GZ victory mosque! Isn’t it ironic that a Jew leads the effort to help build this mosque at GZ.
When a Muslim tried to bomb Times Square, Bloomingidiotberg first blamed it on a tea party extremist who hates obamacare. When it was finally known that the suspect was Muslim, Bloopberg warned us plebes against an anti-pakistani backlash.
Bloomberg, like other leftist elites, sees the writing on the wall:
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/31365
as this article says, the leftist elites are playing this game so that they can retain their privileges as house negro or court jew in the new islamic sharia-compliant america.
Just block the rest of the guy’s face and study his eyes. He is one evil looking shark.
Only in America can you get away with what this evil slime is getting away with what he is trying to do. Find out his schedule and set up protest lines and if his supporters get rough, then do what you have to do to crush this evil. It is time to be an American again, so throw that PC bul-lsh-t out the window. Remember the muslims do not mind killing you or your children!

Islamic Iman is a Slumlord
Ground Zero Imam a Taxpayer-Subsidized Slumlord
by Connie Hair 08/30/2010
The elitist, media-generated grand illusion of the Ground Zero mosque imam has begun to collapse under scrutiny.
New reports from The Record out of Hackensack, N.J., reveal Feisal Abdul Rauf, the would-be Ground Zero imam, owns taxpayer-subsidized apartment buildings in Hudson County where the tenants have made municipal health complaints including rat, roach and bedbug infestations, seeping toilets, leaks, urine-soaked hallways, no heat and no hot water.
Despite millions of dollars in government subsidies, Rauf has trouble maintaining several small apartment buildings in North Bergen, Palisades Park and Union City.
Despite having received over $2 million in public funding for renovations, Rauf’s tenants were forced to file municipal health complaints to seek relief. One such single mother living in a Rauf-owned apartment in Union City said Rauf has not answered complaints.
According to the new reports, Rauf has a long history of taxpayer subsidies and grants for slum properties. There’s even a new revelation of a lawsuit settled in June over what the report terms a suit alleging fraud.
The New York Post reported the site’s developers owe hundreds of thousands in back taxes: The mosque developers are tax deadbeats.
Sharif El-Gamal, the leading organizer behind the mosque and community center near Ground Zero, owes $224,270.77 in back property tax on the site, city records show.
El-Gamal’s company, 45 Park Place Partners, failed to pay its half-yearly bills in January and July, according to the city Finance Department.
Sounds like a good time to raise $100 million for a mosque.
From the NewJersey.com report:
Page after page of municipal health records examined by The Record show repeated complaints ranging from failure to pick up garbage, to rat and bedbug infestations and no heat and hot water.
Cynthia Balko, 48, of Union City — a longtime tenant of Rauf’s — said she’s had to live with rats, leaks and no heat: “I don’t have anything nice to say about the man.”
Despite having received over $2 million in public funding for renovations, Rauf’s tenants were forced to file municipal health complaints to seek relief. One such single mother living in a Rauf-owned apartment in Union City said Rauf has not answered complaints.
From an additional story in The Record:
To understand her perspective, you need to go to a forlorn corner on the Jersey side — to 22nd Street in Union City and a four-story apartment building owned by Rauf. The locks on a front door are broken and the hallway leading to [Melba] Lopez’s two-bedroom apartment smells of urine.
Looking east on 22nd Street — back across the Hudson — the Empire State building pokes the sky. On that side of the river, New York’s mayor speaks of Rauf as a symbol of religious freedom and last week invited the Imam’s wife, Daisy Khan, to dinner at Gracie Mansion to honor the Islamic celebration of Ramadan.
But in Union City, Lopez, a single mother, has another way of describing the man who has time to promote the so-called Ground Zero mosque, but does not seem to have time to answer her complaints about leaks in her toilet.
Lopez said in the report she has never met the would-be Ground Zero mosque imam but she says she has met Rauf’s wife Khan.
Lopez said she remembers Khan telling her that she and her husband did not have enough money to fix her leak and other problems in the building. What Lopez did not know was that at the same time, Rauf and Khan were trying to raise money for their mosque project on the other side of the Hudson.
According to the new reports, Rauf has a long history of taxpayer subsidies and grants for slum properties. There’s even a new revelation of a lawsuit settled in June over what the report terms a suit alleging fraud.
From the link:
[T]he suit alleged Rauf and Khan transferred ownership to another firm they owned and then obtained a $650,000 mortgage on the same building from a bank. After the building was damaged by fire in February 2008, Rauf and Khan stopped making mortgage payments to Cockinos, a former key executive at Daibes’ Mariner’s Bank. When Cockinos tried to foreclose, he discovered Rauf and Khan had switched ownership and filed suit alleging “fraud.”
The case was settled shortly before a June 28 trial, with Rauf and Khan agreeing to pay off the mortgage to Cockinos within the next few years, said the couple’s lawyer, Richard Rosa of Hackensack.
There is much more on Rauf and Khan’s current financial woes at the link.
The New York Post reported the site’s developers owe hundreds of thousands in back taxes:
The mosque developers are tax deadbeats.
Sharif El-Gamal, the leading organizer behind the mosque and community center near Ground Zero, owes $224,270.77 in back property tax on the site, city records show.

Oh, by the way. Isn’t one of Barry Hussein’s “Advisors” Valerie Jarrett a former slumlord from Chicago? How Sweet? Maybe they could have lunch?
The most sacred place in Islam is the Ka’ba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Ka’ba is a mosque (built by Abraham according to Muslim tradition) built around a black stone. The Prophet Muhammad designated Mecca as the holy city of Islam and the direction (qibla) in which all Muslims should offer their prayers. There is a small building two blocks up the street from the Ka’ba that would be a perfect size to start a Christian Church in.
The second most sacred place in Islam is Medina. Medina is a city in the Hejaz region of western Saudi Arabia, and serves as the capital of the Al Madinah Province. It is the second holiest city in Islam, and the burial place of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad and it is historically significant for being his home after the Hijrah. Believe it or not, two blocks up the street there is a small building that would be a perfect size to start a Christian Church in.
Who would I contact in Saudi Arabia to find out about coming over to Mecca and then Medina to start the Christian Churches there? Our parish is looking forward to spreading the “Word” in Saudi Arabia. God bless. P.S. Say, you don’t think we will run into any problems, do you?
Wow, wasn’t there just an article called “Muslims Behaving Badly”?
And another article called “Islam Expert Not Shocked by Disappearance of ‘Draw Muhammad’ Cartoonist”?
And another called “Christians Warn Against Double Standard in Wake of Quran Burning Row”?
And another “Koran Burning: How Dare the Muslim World Lecture America on Religious Tolerance”?
And another “Muslims Resume Building on Christian Graveyard in Pakistan”?
And another “NYC Mosque Rhetoric May Harm Persecuted Christians”?
And another “Controversial Jesus TV Show Canceled in Lebanon”?
And another “Pakistani Court Acquits Christian Woman of ‘Blasphemy”?
And another “Prospects of Religious Freedom Appear Grim in Islamic Maldives”?
And another “Poll: 3 in 5 New Yorkers Oppose Ground Zero Mosque”?
And another “Muslim Protesters Surround Worshippers in Indonesia”?
Gee, for so few radicals out there in the world, they sure get around, don’t they? But, they told us their religion was peaceful? You mean they lied to us? And we Socialist Progessive’s (I mean Democrat American’s) believed them? I guess I should stop watching the Main, I mean Lame-Stream Media? Oh my God, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR, and PBS have all become Pravda America?
I wonder if the “strip joint” around the corner from the Mosque at Ground Zero was similar to the one that many of the 911 Muslim terrorists attended the night before they flew the planes into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, etc murdering thousands, many who were women and children?
If these people were religious terrorists and not political terrorists or people acting out on political grievances, how could they have drank, gone to strip clubs, and rented hookers the night before they supposedly wanted to meet Allah? (Notice I didn’t say God, I said Allah). So if everybody doesn’t accept their version of reality, that somehow invalidates it for them. Everybody must believe the same things they do. Solution to this problem? Believe it or not, there is. It’s called an election and it just happened. Next, America needs to vote Barry Hussein Soetoro out.
Obama U.S. Taxpayers Foot Bill for Ludicrous Palestinian Authority Propaganda Campaign
U.S. Taxpayers Foot Bill for Ludicrous Palestinian Authority Propaganda Campaign
A campaign designed to put the onus for peace on Israeli citizens is getting deservedly ridiculed.
September 10, 2010 – by Barry Rubin
Over and over, the Obama administration shows its capacity for misunderstanding Israel and decreasing its own popularity there. Even while bilateral relations are good, it reminds Israelis of why they shouldn’t fundamentally trust this government and that Washington doesn’t understand them at all.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) — which is supposed to help countries raise their living standards — gave a $250,000 grant to the H.L. Peace Education Program of the Geneva Initiative. (I wonder if the U.S. Congress considers this to be within AID’s mandate!) The money isn’t paying for potable water, health clinics, or small factories. It’s paying for billboards and videos in Israel, featuring the faces of Palestinian and Israeli officials asking:
We are partners — what about you?
Typical, isn’t it? The implication of the signs and film clips is that the Palestinians are ready for peace, the question is only whether Israel wants it. Should be very effective with Israelis, right? If you have any doubts on that point, read the article about what went on behind the scenes during production from Israel’s leading newspaper, Yediot Ahronot. Even the Israeli film crew members were making sarcastic cracks about what the “partners” were saying off-camera.
I should mention that there is also a series of billboards aimed at Palestinians with Israelis featured. Not a single heart or mind will be changed by this waste of money. One of the main Israelis featured is Yossi Beilin, plus others in the opposition in Israel but who were involved in some cases with the sponsoring group. In a sense, the campaign is an advertisement for themselves, not for peace, since these people aren’t in the government.
When writing a biography of Yasir Arafat, I had a long interview list of Palestinians, Israelis, and Americans. One of the few who simply would not respond to my requests was Beilin. One day, a friend said he was next going to meet Beilin, so I asked him to pass along my interview request.
An hour later I spoke again to the friend and asked him what happened. He responded:
Beilin told me that he won’t do it because if he gives an interview he will have to speak well of Arafat, and he told me he doesn’t want to say nice things about that SOB.
In other words, Beilin, pretty much forgotten on today’s Israeli political scene, is a propagandist who believes in what I call “lying for peace.” In this case he is also promoting himself by putting his picture on billboards.
Indeed, this is a public relations campaign for the Geneva Initiative group, financed by the United States. Even assuming that the U.S. government wanted to do this kind of thing, they went about it in a very stupid manner.
Those on the billboards from the Palestinian side include Saeb Erekat, Jibril Rajoub, Yasser Abed Rabbo, and Riad Malki. These are not the most hardline people in the PA. But they’ve said, not so long ago, some very extreme things about Israel — and Israelis know it. Malki, to cite one example, was for years the West Bank leader of the PFLP at the height of its terrorism. Abed Rabbo was a hardliner during the Oslo process.
Jibril Rajoub’s record is mixed, and he can be called a relative moderate. Still, when an Israeli hotel near Sinai was attacked by terrorists in 2004, Rajoub blamed Israel for the bombing, calling Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon a terrorist who was engaged in “continuous and unprecedented aggression against the Palestinian people.” In 2009 he criticized a speech by PA leader Mahmoud Abbas as too moderate toward Israel. He extolled the unity efforts between Hamas and Fatah while cheering Fatah’s decision to adhere to its original program, which called for Israel’s destruction and explicitly stated that Fatah still retained the option of armed struggle.
They also have something else in common: none of them is a mainstream Fatah person, though Rajoub comes closest to being so. They don’t have much real power. Israelis know that.
Yet aside from all of this, there is something very revealing in this project regarding official and mass media attitudes in the United States. They think that the lack of peace is based on some misunderstanding, or on inexplicable Israeli suspicion. What they refuse to face is that the barrier to peace is Palestinian intransigence due to the PA’s weakness, the radicalism of Fatah, the effect of continual incitement on Palestinian public opinion, and other problems I’ve discussed in detail.
This project radiates naiveté, a characteristic Israelis find most repugnant when it comes to securing their future and survival. Aside from wasting taxpayer money at a time of economic crisis, this public relations scheme will have the exact opposite effect from what was intended.
Exposing Radical Islamist Hypocrisy at Ground Zero
There are many reasons to doubt the stated intentions of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the man behind the Ground Zero mosque. After 9/11 he did not hesitate to condemn the United States as an “accessory” to the attacks but more recently refused to condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization. This is unsurprising considering he has well-established ties to U.S. branches of the Muslim Brotherhood. He has also refused to reveal the sources of funding for the mosque project, which is projected to cost $100 million.
More importantly, he is an apologist for sharia supremacy. In a recent op-ed, Rauf actually compared sharia law with the Declaration of Independence. This isn’t mere dishonesty; it is an Orwellian attempt to cause moral confusion about the nature of radical Islamism.
The true intentions of Rauf are also revealed by the name initially proposed for the Ground Zero mosque–”Cordoba House”–which is named for a city in Spain where a conquering Muslim army replaced a church with a mosque. This name is a very direct historical indication that the Ground Zero mosque is all about conquest and thus an assertion of Islamist triumphalism which we should not tolerate.
They say they’re interfaith, but they didn’t propose the building of a mosque, church and synagogue. Instead they proposed a 13-story mosque and community center that will extol the glories of Islamic tolerance for people of other faiths, all while overlooking the site where radical Islamists killed almost 3,000 people in a shocking act of hatred.
Building this structure on the edge of the battlefield created by radical Islamists is not a celebration of religious pluralism and mutual tolerance; it is a political statement of shocking arrogance and hypocrisy.
We need to have the moral courage to denounce it. It is simply grotesque to erect a mosque at the site of the most visible and powerful symbol of the horrible consequences of radical Islamist ideology. Well-meaning Muslims, with common human sensitivity to the victims’ families, realize they have plenty of other places to gather and worship. But for radical Islamists, the mosque would become an icon of triumph, encouraging them in their challenge to our civilization.
Apologists for radical Islamist hypocrisy are trying to argue that we have to allow the construction of this mosque in order to prove America’s commitment to religious liberty. They say this despite the fact that there are already over 100 mosques in New York City.
In fact, they’re partially correct-this is a test of our commitment to religious liberty. It is a test to see if we have the resolve to face down an ideology that aims to destroy religious liberty in America, and every other freedom we hold dear.
Hey Roy, do you think GOD forgot to tell mahammad that Jerusalem where his house was built by Salomon was his city of choice to live in not Mecca. What is this thing about a rock in their mosque, that they worship and they believe the world will be destroyed if move or touched by someone other than a muslim. Roy I read something about mahammad took a pagan temple and made it into the islamic holy sight. If you search back to the beginning of islam it is based on the Hebrew religion.
No wonder “Imam” Rauf (he awarded himself his credential) is going on a national tour. New Yorkers are sick of him!
My understanding is that Park 51/Cordoba or whatever they call themselves now, is not a 501 (c)3 corporation, i.e. its not a non profit, at least it wasn’t at the time they applied for the 5.5 million dollar grant at LMDC – who rarely gives grants of more than $100,000.
Bottom line, they do not qualify for the grant. Expect something underhanded to have taken place if they receive so much as one thin dime.
I wonder though, have these people paid their back taxes on the property? If not, is the City taking the property over just as they would if it were you or I? Who is paying for this tour to raise money? Has Rauf repaired all of the apartments he owns and made the tenants whole? Has Shariff paid off his Citibank loan? So many questions, so few answers.
Feisal Abdul Rauf is starting out his little tour in that Hezbollah enclave near Detroit.
Friendly territory for this…
New Jersey Slumlord
wonder if rauf will be asked about all the help, influence, from Mayor Bloomberg and his various commissioners, with this new news almost getting buried in Bloomberg’s other blizzard of snow:
Downtown Express, DEC. 29, 2010 – JAN. 5, 2011
“Mayor’s office had behind the scenes role in Park51″
BY Aline Reynolds
“A slew of e-mails between Mayor Bloomberg’s office and Park51 organizers reveal that the Mayor has done more than just verbally champion the proposed Islamic community center.
A recent Freedom of Information Act request of the mayor’s Community Affairs Unit has publicly exposed nearly 100 pages of e-mails dating back to August 2009. The exchanges, many of them between Courtney Erwin, the Cordoba Initiative’s former chief of staff, and Fatima Shama, commissioner of the mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, address strategies of garnering support for Park51 and quelling the opposition to the project. …”
